About me
Thanks for stopping by! I am a traditionally published, indie horror author. I love to read all types of stories. I particularly enjoy works with horror, historical, and queer themes, but I will read anything! My goal is to help others improve in a way that is meaningful to them. I have extensive writing and publication experience. Part of my day job as a professor is guiding students in the academic writing process. I also serve as a copy editor for an indie fashion and art magazine. Let's make your work shine! I am temporarily unavailable for new orders. I will re-open August 4, 2026. ... Read more

    Dr. CJ was exceptional to work with. I am glad that he served as a beta reader for my up and coming novel. He provided critical and constructive feedback for me to ultimately improve my work. I would absolutely hire him again in the future for my other novels.

    CJ reviewed my horror short story/novel with queer themes and offered me a lot of helpful insights and observations, both at the story level itself (in terms of plot and characters) but also noted some patterns, strengths, and areas to improve in my writing. Would highly recommend!
